UNSPSC 50611771: Canned or jarred Non GMO taylor avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO taylor avocados that have been canned or jarred for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50611771, Canned or jarred non-GMO taylor avocados, is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable, packaged avocado products used by state institutions to supply food service operations. In practice, state and local governments procure this code as part of much broader consumable-foods solicitations that bundle dozens of line items—prepared foods, proteins, vegetables, and food service supplies—in single IFBs or RFQs. Recent opportunities show the code embedded within larger institutional food buys: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Lufkin State Supported Living Center procurement (IFB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) requested 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies for canteen and campus operations; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) solicited 35 line items of shelf-stable food products for senior services; and the Oregon Department of Corrections requested canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) as part of institutional food supply chains. The Texas HHSC has issued multiple food procurements in the past six months, including a supplemental foods IFB with 210 line items and maximum value of $4.5 million over three years (due March 19, 2026). Issuing bodies across these opportunities are state departments (HHS, corrections, state-health services), county governments (Gwinnett), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill Schools); state-supported living centers and correctional facilities are repeat institutional buyers.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas HHS has posted at least four food procurements since May 2026, ranging from the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, $1.5 million historical value for the prior period, due July 13, 2026) to the statewide supplemental foods procurement (210 items, $4.5 million potential value). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—each issued comprehensive food bids in May 2026 (Ben Hill IFB #26271 due June 15, 2026; Burke County sealed bids due June 5, 2026) spanning nearly 400 line items across fresh, frozen, and canned products. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato RFQ (7,616 cases, June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent. Illinois posted a quarterly food-order solicitation (FY-27 IVHQ, due June 26, 2026). No solicitations in the source material specifically name canned or jarred avocados as an itemized line. The code shows activity in institutional food service—state hospitals, living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services—with delivery windows typically 30 to 72 hours, F.O.B. Destination pricing, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods with adjustments tied to verified market indices (USDA, Consumer Price Index) in renewal periods.
